- Description
- QCP (PureVoice Audio File) is a file format used for storing audio data in a compressed format. It was originally developed by Qualcomm for use in their CDMA phones and is optimized for low-bandwidth transmission. It is used primarily for voice recordings, such as voicemails and other audio messages.
- The MPA file format, standing for MPEG-2 Audio File, is designed to store audio data compressed using the MPEG-2 Audio coding standard. This format is a successor to the MPEG-1 standard, offering enhancements like improved audio quality and support for multiple audio channels, thus enabling surround sound experiences. MPA files are commonly used for both music and video soundtracks due to their efficient compression, which preserves sound quality while reducing file size significantly.
